Triger warning (violence)

Maria's Pov

Lucifer was leaning towards my face. He is about to kiss me! We are millimetres apart when someone clears their throat and I push Lucifer to make some distance. I heard him groan due to my action and I turned to the person next to me.

Taylor.

Well, he does know how to make a great entrance. Note the sarcasm.

"I am sorry to intrude but can I talk to Miss Reed for a moment please?" He looked at Lucifer. He looked reluctant to that idea and his grip on my waist got tight.

"Yeah sure." He looked at me. "I'll see you later?" He asked.

"Of course."

And I walked towards Taylor, this better be important.

"What is it?" I said.

"Your father has called you home immediately. He doesn't seem in a good mood." He gave me a sad smile.

I start to panic but reluctantly walked towards the car outside. Throughout the drive, Taylor tried to soothe me but we both know things like these don't end well.

Was he mad at me because I danced with Lucifer? When we reached the mansion I was able to hear commotion from inside. I saw Theo's car and someone else's as well. Shit were we having guests?

I entered the mansion and I was shocked. Father had a gun aimed at my mother who was on the floor, brutally beaten, and was bleeding. Kneeled by her was my brother and someone I was not able to put a finger on. He looked familiar.

All their heads snapped in my direction. This is not the first time this has happened, the last time it did was on Nora's birthday.

"GET OUT OF HERE MARIA!" Theo shouted making me flinch. I was about to leave when the gun was aimed at me.

"STAY WHERE YOU ARE BITCH!" My father said. I was panicking, tears pooling in my eyes when he started walking towards me, still not lowering his gun.

"DON'T CALL HER THAT!" The familiar person said. He started walking towards us when my father shot the vase which was on the table. I let out a scream.

"MOVE ANOTHER STEP AND SHE DIES." Pointing at me. The person stopped, debating on his decision. Father stopped in front of me and slapped me, making me fall on the floor. With reflex, my hand went on my left cheek and tears escaped my eyes. The person moved but then my father aimed at me and shot. I screamed in agony, both my brother and the person exclaimed 'NO'.

The bullet was shot in my thigh. I grunted in pain still crying. Father turned to the man.

" Another move and it goes straight in her heart." Father looked at me in distaste, pulled me up harshly by my arm and slapped me again but held me so I didn't fall.

"LOOK AT YOU, SUCH A PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT. CANT YOU STOP FUCKING CRYING?" He shouts at my face.

Then presses his chest against my back and one hand wrapped around my neck with another holding a gun against my head. I was trying not to put pressure on my left thigh which was now bleeding. I look up at the man, he was being held back by my father's security. They needed 4 men to hold him back. Theo was holding mum against his chest in a protective way.

"DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HER. IT WS ALL ME, LET HER GO." He screamed trying to get out of the hold.

"I KNOW IT WAS YOUR FAULT." He turns to me. " You know who that man is don't you slut?" I shake my head in protest, my head was spinning. I tried to see straight.

"You don't?" He points at the man and continues. "That bastard over there is my brother." Well, that clicked. He pressed the gun to my head with more force.

"Do you know why your slut if a mother is lying on the floor like that?" I shake my head, still crying. I don't have the guts to speak right now.

"Well, that is your fault, AGAIN!"

"I am sorry!" I don't know what I am sorry for but maybe he will calm down.

"Sorry? SORRY!? YOUR EXISTENCE HAS MADE MY LIFE HELL." His grip on my neck became hard in reflex my handheld his to loosen the hold but by this, there caused pressure on my left thigh and I screamed again. That fucking hurt!

"LEAVE HER BE! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!?" My uncle yelled at him.

"WHY!? FIRST THIS-" points at mum, "- WHORE OF A BITCH DECIDES TO INVITE YOU HERE IN MY HOUSE WHEN SHE KNEW YOU WERE NOT ALLOWED HERE, ESPECIALLY TO MEET MARIA!"

"Ok we get it you don't want me to be here. I will leave, just leave them. No one needs to get more hurt." My uncle tried to reason with him calmly.

I was trying so hard to keep it together but I think I am losing it.

"NO! THE ONLY THING GOING OUT OF THIS HOUSE IS YOUR AND MARIA'S DEAD BODI-" and then there was a gunshot and everything went black.
